On being in the spotlight for so many years: "I feel lucky. I don't feel burdened by it. I mean, people can be pretty mean, though, **w that there's all this social media. The comments . . . if I ever want to feel really bad about myself, I just click on one of those Daily Mail comment sections."
On why her marriage to David Arquette didn't work: "I think that we were such good friends. We found ourselves leading separate lives and just coexisting and being great friends, but **t having the intimacy that . . . is so important in a relationship. I think you really need to work in a relationship, and I think that we tried. We're just really different, too. I'm the polar opposite of him. That can be great for a lot of things, but I need this kind of real, one-on-one connection. And I don't k**w. It wasn't a dramatic ending. It was more of a . . . just, I don't k**w. I've really been . . . ** one's ever asked me in this way, so I haven't really thought about it like this. I mean, as divorces go, I would say it's one of the better ones. For sure. We're good co-parents together."
On her on-again, off-again romance with Johnny McDaid: "We were engaged for over a year and then we broke up. There's something about . . . you k**w, he's From Ireland. And the way he regards love is precious. We have to treat it in a different way. It's more special. You coddle it. So, I didn't k**w how to regard love the way he does. And I definitely made a lot of mistakes that I see, whether it's codependency or people-pleasing. I didn't k**w how to bring it in. It was always external. I definitely have learned a lot, and ** matter what, I will be a better person From that breakup, even though it was so brutal." She then confirmed they are back together, but said their relationship is in a "new context" **w. "It's just . . . everything's new. And we have both really worked on ourselves on the parts that needed the most attention. And it feels really different."
On the pressure to look young in Hollywood: "I think there's a pressure to maintain [your looks], **t just because of fame, but just, you k**w, being a woman in this business. Getting older has **t been . . . I don't think it's the easiest thing. But I have learned lessons. You k**w, I think I was trying to keep up with getting older, trying to chase that . . . you k**w, it's something you can't keep up with. So, the more you relax into it and the less I try . . . 'cause sometimes you find yourself trying and then you look at a picture of yourself and go, 'Oh, God.' Like, you look horrible. I have done things that I regret, and luckily they're things that dissolve and go away. So, um, that's good, because it's **t always been my best look. So, **w I just have a new motto: 'Just let it be.'"
On her 12-year-old daughter, Coco: "There are certain parts about getting older that are fantastic. Just watching my daughter go through, you k**w, the game of life . . . I see so much of myself in her, and I'm glad that . . . I've been through it, and learned e**ugh **w to actually help her go through things that are hard . . . I just have a great time with her. She's funny. She's sweet. She's very sensitive. She's really a combination between me and [David], for sure."
On the death of her father, Richard Cox: "He died in 2001 before I had Coco . . . He died of this really rare cancer called Merkel cell carci**ma . . . He just didn't want to go. So, it wasn't like a surrender. I'm one of these people that if you say, 'Courteney, get me well'- which is kind of what he said - I will find every . . . I mean, I sent the guy to Switzerland to do some radioactive treatment that ** one had ever heard of. It kind of put me on a mission. He was supposed to live six months, and he ended up living a year and a half. Throughout that year and a half, even though he was doing chemo and all this stuff, he really had a great time."
